Pina spent the month of December with me. She is a lovely girl and we had lots of nice times together. Although she was vegetarian, she succeeded in providing me with non-vegetarian meals. She was kind, good company and ran lots of errands for me. I would like to thank her for her time and wish her lots of success for the future.
